SHAH ALAM: A notice had been sent to the Road Transport Department
(JPJ) asking them to dismantle the two Automated Enforcement System
(AES) cameras installed in the Kajang municipality.
State
executive councillor Ronnie Liu said the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj)
had informed JPJ to remove the cameras within 14 days, after which the
council would dismantle the structures itself.

"In the Local
Government Act, any structure built on land, regardless if it belongs to
an individual, organisation or Government agency, must obtain
development order from the local council," he told reporters Wednesday.

Liu
said he did not have the exact date of the notice sent to JPJ, but said
neither JPJ, the AES contractors nor the Transport Ministry had applied
to MPKj to set up the AES cameras.

At the Selangor Economic
Action Council (MTES) meeting last week, the state government decided to
ban the implementation of AES in the state.

On a related development, Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim announced that former Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (Mida) director-general Datuk N. Sadasivan will chair the independent committee tasked with reviewing the development of a condominium project in Batu Caves.

Selangor Town and Country Planning Department deputy director Norasiah Bee
had been appointed as secretary to the committee, while the names of
other committee members would be disclosed at a later date.
Khalid said he would meet Sadasivan and the other committee members this week to discuss the scope of the committee.

"Under
its scope is to review all development projects implemented and planned
in Batu Caves, and taking into account every aspect, including people's
welfare, the interest of the Hindu community, environmental safety and
existing laws," he said.

The Batu Caves temple management had
threatened to sue the state government unless construction to a
29-storey condominium project next to the Unesco heritage side is
shelved.
